M*Modal and Intermountain Healthcare Collaborate on Industry's First Speech-Enabled Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE) App for iPhone and iPad

FRANKLIN, TN, Feb 22, 2013 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
M*Modal, a leading provider of clinical documentation and Speech
Understanding(TM) solutions, today announced an agreement with
Intermountain Healthcare to jointly develop innovative mobile
technology for speech-enabled Computerized Physician Order Entry
(CPOE), enabling physicians and hospital staff to conversationally
order patient medication and other medical functions using iOS(R)
devices, including iPhone(R) and iPad(R) mobile digital devices. This
mobile application (app) will benefit healthcare providers by
allowing physicians to quickly, easily and securely place orders at
the point of care.

M*Modal (booth #6647) and Intermountain (booth #1810) will be
demonstrating the order entry app for medications at the 2013 HIMSS
Conference, being held March 3-7 in New Orleans. Intermountain is an
internationally recognized healthcare provider network of 22
hospitals, 185 clinics and an affiliated health insurance company,
SelectHealth.

M*Modal's CPOE solution uses highly intelligent Speech Understanding
and cloud technology to bring simplicity and flexibility to
physicians and other healthcare professionals. For medication orders,
users will be able to select the patient, describe information on the
prescription -- including dosage, frequency and qualifiers -- and
send the request to an electronic health record (EHR) order entry
system with a minimum of steps and effort.

"The ability for a physician to dictate common prescription orders
and have them seamlessly integrated into our electronic medical
record system can create better productivity and improve patient
safety," said Marc Probst, CIO and VP of Information Systems at
Intermountain Healthcare.

M*Modal's CPOE will support common, frequently prescribed medications
based on a health care system's formulary. In addition, the app will
be designed to enable other order functions, including imaging (CT
scans), nursing (catheters, checking vitals) and testing (lab tests,
CBC, glucose). The app will fully support standards-based data
exchanges as well as interoperate with Intermountain's order entry
system.

Unlike other speech recognition applications like the Siri(R) voice
recognition software, M*Modal's advanced cloud-based
speech engine
is uniquely customized for health care. M*Modal offers services based
on the experience of recognizing and understanding the documentation
of more than 200,000 doctors that rely on M*Modal's cloud offerings
every day.

"M*Modal and Intermountain are developing the industry's first mobile
order entry app to integrate speech understanding, giving physicians
flexibility to make routine orders anytime and anywhere," said Vern
Davenport, CEO for M*Modal. "Our solution will integrate easily into
a healthcare provider's workflow, while capturing orders completely
and accurately so physicians can focus on more critical needs at the
point of care."
M*Modal expects to release the order entry app in the fall of 2013
and will partner with other health systems to provide
interoperability across multiple EHR systems and healthcare
information management platforms.
